Switch on Learning (description)

At the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board, we are Switching on Learning by integrating Google’s powerful ecosystem into every classroom. This blog is a dedicated space for sharing the ideas, methodologies, and digital tools that transform the modern educational experience. Our Digital Toolkit We empower educators and students by leveraging a robust, collaborative environment: Google Workspace for Education: Driving seamless collaboration through Docs, Drive, and Classroom. The Power of AI: Utilizing Gemini and integrated AI features to personalize learning and spark creativity. Data-Driven Assessment: Using MarkBook to track student growth with precision and transparency. The Process of Learning: Leveraging Revision History to emphasize growth, iteration, and the visible journey of a student's work. From interactive Chrome tools to digital storytelling, we aren't just using tech—we’re using it to bridge gaps, foster global collaboration, and future-proof our students' skills.

DoInk GreenScreen App used to present Saint Projects


Green screen allows students to discuss, evaluate and reflect on their learning using their imagination and digital skills. 

Mrs. Edmunds grade 3/4 students at St. Rose have been learning about Saints in Religion class. They learned about and examined the lives of Patron Saints and explained how they are examples of hope that inspire us to live a holy life. Students then chose a Saint that they have heard about or were interested in, and researched 4-5 facts about them. Using a Green Screen, students dressed as their Saint and brought their projects alive.

Check out some of the students samples below.

Clare studied St. Nicholas

Natalie studied St. James

Rory studied St. Joseph
